Weight and mass are essentially the same measurements?
Is weight and mass the same thing? Is 1 kg always 2.2 pounds? At the surface of the Earth, yes. On the moon, 1 kg would be about 0.7 pounds. Weight is the effect of gravity on mass. In space, you have no (or very little) weight, but you still have the same mass. Astronauts in the ISS have no weight and can float around, but if they want to move themselves, they have to deal with inertia.
What is sitting with one leg over the other?
It is still sitting!
What is the tension in a rope that is supporting a 4.2 kg bucket?
There are two forces acting on the bucket which are the Tension and the Weight. Tension is directed upward and Weight is directed downward. Since the bucket is either moving at constant velocity, or if its remaining still, the Tension would have to equal in magnitude to the weight. Weight = Fg = Mass(in kgs) times Gravity= 4.2 kg x 9.8 m/s^2=41.46 Newtons Tension would be equal to Fg, which means that Tension would also be 41.46 Newtons.
How many Newtons are in 45.5 kilograms?
If your mass is 45.5 kilograms, then your weight on earth is about 445.9 newtons (rounded).On the moon or other planets, your mass is still 45.5 kilograms, but your weight is different,depending what body you're on.In space on the way there, your mass is still 45.5 kilograms, and your weight is zero.
What are two countries that still use Avoirdupois weight system of measurement?
The US and the UK.
A 100 lb weight sitting still would have more inertia than which of these?
50 lb. weight.
What effects does inertia have on a static object?
Inertia makes it stay still and determines how hard it would be to get it moving
How would zero gravity affect inertia?
Zero gravity does not affect inertia. The inertia of an object is an inherent property of the object and is directly proportional to the object's mass.
When a dry sponge absorbs water which changes most its mass or its volume?
Weight. (Since fluid is squeezed out, the compressed sponge weighs less). However, if the question refers to compressing a dry sponge, then the only quantity that would change would be volume.
Examples in the law of inertia?
A rock sitting still until a force moves it. Shoot an arrow, it moves in a straight line except that gravity pulls down to earth.
When was Sitting Still created?
Sitting Still was created in 1981.
Which are the examples of inertia of rest?
-- a round smooth ball sitting still on a level smooth floor -- a car standing still on level ground, in neutral with its brakes off -- lying awake in bed in the morning but not feeling like getting up

What is difference between inertia and non inertia?
there is no such thing as NON-inertia. if something is moving it'll keep moving until something stops it. and if something is still it'll stay still until something makes it move. everything living or non living has inertia.
Is sliced watermelon still good after sitting on the counter overnight?
no!why would you ask that,weirdo
In 0 gravity the mass of an object comes to be not defines than how can the mass of an object come constant everywhere?
Mass does not depend on gravity. At zero gravity the object will have the same mass as at a higher gravity. What changes is the object's weight. The fact that the object still has mass can be ascertained from its inertia - it will take a force to make it move, or to stop it.Mass does not depend on gravity.

Does speed have to do with inertia?
Yes. Inertia is what holds an object in motion from falling faster than the object falling at the same time. Say you have a brick and a feather. Which falls faster? Neither. You see, inertia contributes with the third law of motion, meaning an object at rest will stay at rest until a net zero force acts upon it. Meaning that inertia is that net zero force keeping that object at rest still. Now, if you dropped a brick off of the building at the same time as the feather, inertia would keep the brick from falling faster than the feather because of its speed. Gravity is pulling the object toward earth and inertia is holding it back. Same for the feather except theres less inertia because of the weight of the feather.More Speed= More inertia. Keep that in mind.
